It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved founder Simon N. Groot on July 6 at the age of 90. Simon dedicated his life to improving the livelihoods of smallholder vegetable farmers. He will be greatly missed.

First Farmer Field Day in Ofua 3 refugee settlement, Uganda! Farmers gathered to learn about eggplant production, hear success stories, and explore vegetable farming as a business.

@SandraNabasirye @hortifreshffv @MAAIF_Uganda @paceidug @UAAKampala The biggest challenge with F&V farmers is the technical knowledge to meet international phytosanitary standards. We need to address it for farmers to tap fully into the export market

It has been a very productive day 5 days @TheAGRF discussing issues affecting the youth and smallholder farmers in agriculture

[Ministry of Agriculture & Animal Resources |Rwanda @RwandaAgri]

We had a wonderful time chatting with the exhibitors at the marketplace tent.

They shared not just what they’re showcasing at #AFSForum2024, but also how being part of this special forum inspires them. Listen to their answers:

According to @TheAGRF, 33m smallholder farmers live on the African continent. Yet 1/5th of people are projected to face chronic hunger. #Africa remains the most food insecure continent worldwide.

We have a long way to go; partner now with our Foundation! https://t.co/nANGTgJcHC

I had a wonderful discussion @TheAGRF earlier in the day talking about "meaningful youth engagement in Agri-preneurship"

“Even at the community level, we are trying to change the mindsets of #youth, showing them that #agriculture is a viable business by introducing them to business-led approaches, showing them the cost-benefit analysis.” - Joshua Mwanguhya, Knowledge Transfer Manager #Uganda

@nowaraga At East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer we are training farmers on the responsible use of agro-chemicals in vegetable production with emphasis on harvesting interval after their use

@Sofilundin @CityTyres I took my car to these mechanics on X they were recommending they spoiled it completely and ended up paying 7.5m to bring it back to life. Thank God you went to real professionals

[AIGP(Rtd) Asan Kasingye @AKasingye]

@dkaberengye @MarthaKayug That’s correct. But, a family must have goals. These goals must be bigger than you both. It’s not what you take out as an individual, it’s what binds you as a couple. What’s its use? If it’s consumption, then it’s in vain. Share resources for development.

[Bala Joshua @mwanguhya]

@AKasingye @dkaberengye @MarthaKayug This is the most sensible advice I have ever read on this platform 👍🏾. Things young people don't like to hear
